About This Product
The Whitworth mechanism is a quick-return linkage used in machine tools such as shaping and slotting machines, where the cutting stroke is slower than the return stroke so little time is wasted. In the classroom the model lets students turn the crank, watch the slotted link and slider move, and see how changing the crank pin radius changes the length of the stroke. School Lab Equipment India supplies the Whitworth Quick Return across India and can export it to South Korea, Lithuania, Vanuatu, United States and Syria.
